Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 2

He found out!

He didn't fall asleep. While she was asleep, he unlocked her phone and discovered her secret!

Nancy broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, she didn't know what to do. She could only panic and fearfully look at him.

Charlie chuckled and continued to play with Nancy's phone.

"Twins, huh...I never expected that, the Mirren family actually gave me such a big gift. I a m curious how you two sisters negotiated it. Do you switch shifts on a daily basis?"

"No!"

Nancy clenched her fists tightly, almost biting her lip until it bled.

"Charlie..."

"Just now, you called me darling, didn't you?"

Nancy felt an urge to kill. He already knew the truth. Why did he have to embarrass her like this?

The truth was revealed. When she thought about her father, she wanted to cry. She felt overwhelmed with grievances.

Charlie ignored her reddened eyes and asked coldly, "Who was the one who had a wedding ceremony with me?"

Nancy bit her lip, her voice weak and feeble, "It was me."

"In these three years, has Vivian ever stayed here?"

Nancy hurriedly explained for her sister, "She’s a pianist, you know. She’s very busy, and you aren’t here, so..."

Charlie coldly interrupted her, "So, it’s always been you?"

Yes, in these three years, Vivian had been traveling all over the country, and she had to coordinate with Vivian's schedule. When Vivian was busy, she would leave. When Vivian finished her performance, she would return to the Firth family’s mansion.

She was like Vivian's shadow, helping Vivian fulfill her duties as Mrs. Firth.

Charlie suddenly stood up, took the phone and walked to the bedside, looking down at Nancy.

"Call her."

Things had come to this point, and the only solution was to call back Vivian.

Nancy sniffed. She took the phone with trembling hands from Charlie. She found Vivian's number, and called her.

The first time, no one answered.

The second time, no one answered.

A man's cold voice came from above, "Continue!"

Nancy's fingers trembled as she pressed the dial button again.

The third time.

The fourth time.

It wasn't until the tenth time that someone finally answered the phone.

Before Nancy could say anything, Vivian's impatient and angry voice rang out sharply, "Nancy! Are you out of your mind?How can you call me so late? You keep calling like you want to kill me! Are you hoping your dad dies sooner?"

When Nancy was very young, her parents divorced.

Her mother took her sister and remarried a wealthy businessman. She was left with her poor father to rely on each other.

Four years ago, a car accident left her father in a vegetative state.

Before Nancy graduated, she had to go to school and work to support her father. Although life was hard, Nancy never complained.

Until three years ago, when her vegetative father suddenly disappeared from the hospital, waiting for her in the ward were her mother and sister whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Her mother and sister “kidnapped”her father to make her marry Charlie. For her father's safety, she had no choice but to agree.

Charlie's deep eyes narrowed slightly.

Nancy quickly said, "Vivian, please come back tomorrow, your huasband..."

"What are you panicking for? I know he went back to City Nustin. Is he going to sleep with you or what? Nancy, even if he wants to sleep with you, you're the one who takes advantage! It's not important at all. You shouldn’t have called me so many times. I am so fed up with you!"

Nancy's heart suddenly sank. All the good things she had said for Vivian just now were destroyed at this moment.

"Vivian..."

"Enough! Nancy, I'm not afraid to tell you that Charlie doesn't like women at all. He married me just to pass on the family line. You can be at ease being Mrs. Firth for me. I will take good care of your father. Otherwise, you’ll only see his dead body!"

With a "pop," the phone was rudely hung up.

But Nancy's heart was in her throat!

Charlie didn't like women?

Could he be gay?
